I .!ATT into custody was this morning carried into As Sir Frakt ! lCl. pet ted in his refusal to, sta.;-Incier, it. was this .tr.ortung determined to e c' t 1:14e effeau4l means for executing the warrant. wee ten and eleven o'clock a ladder was reared frocii a&ainsl the first floor window, a - • , • const , tble ascended it, and ..opened the window.. Sig - 1"L1 A NCI'S, with some of his friends, were at breakfast the room ; they ran to the window and shut it down. In the' mean time another udder was lowered into the area, an entrance into the house was obtained that way, and Sir FEAN w . as taken intro custody. He was then put into a c(incli, and, accompanied by the Serjeant and his brother, Mr. JONES lit/ROE:TT, he was. taken to the The. carriage was not driyen through the Ci.y, but along Oxford-road, the New-road,' and IVe City-road, and so round , to the To-..er. The carriage was guarded by a very largelnilitar'y force, both o: - house and foOt among the foriner were The vrho".e te, , iment.olthe 15th dragoons. • "I's ~.cer. rtp rt was very currently circulated, that' Sir Fr,ANcis having Obje6ted to the legality of the SPEAKER'S Warrant, another lArarratit, signed by the Secretary of State, and countersigned by icis MAJESTY, had been procured. There is no founda tion whatever for this statement. He-was arrested upon the original Warrant of the SPEAKER. A'-'e are, we confess, very much at •a loss to ac count for the extraordinary delay which has occur= red in the execution of that Warrant. We are not sufficiently in possession of the fals to enable us to state who is. to blame .for this delay, or whether blame is attributable to any one ; bur,. upon fits view of the case, it dims appear most . strange, sp. tong. a period should have 'elapsed • the Sil...A - KER's Warrant (the legality of Nvi) cii, we alf:piehend, no *rnan al. all a. - quaintd' ith-the priudiples of the Constitution can. doubt) v! . . into execution. We have not heard in d,:yd, except froM the immediate friends of • Sir Uz.ANQIS, anything like a doubt cNpressed upon the .bje6l. The leading Opposition Paper of this morn ing admits the right of - the House of Commons, but sap the exercise of it.in the presentinstance ig the explication of a Whig dotirine to a Tory purpose. We do not . exaetly what is meant by that ex plO.:ision, but we know lf - theright of the House-of CL?nitrions be clear, then an attempt to resist it by * force is a gross violation of tile ConstitUtion. Since writing the above, we b3ye learnt that Sir FitANcis arrived at the Tower abottt twelve o'clock; itilmense crowd were assembled on :rower Hill, but the . greatest tranquility -prevailed. The following article is extracted from the Cork -Puper. :The report is, however,, not entitled to any credit, a; the_ French could . not assemble such a force unless the Toulon Fleet shad escaped fro , the Mediterranean ; .and, if such an event' .had taken place, of course the news would have reached kids country before this time : • ".

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Av . GpSTA SOPHIA, accompanied by Lady TnyNNE, General CARTWRIGHT, and Major PRICE, rode to Sr- GeOrge's Chapel, and heard a Sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. LONG. Yesterday his Royal Highne:;s Ole Prince of Wp.t.4s attended Divine Service at 04 : Chapel of the Foundling Hospital, accompanied by` ords DUNDAS and ERSKINE. His Royal Highness haVing been eleQed President of this excellent In'ititutio - i, in the room of the late Dalt* of PORTLAND;,*as received by the Governors with every mark of respell. The children wore new cloaths on the occasion; and his Royal Higfinessi. with his usual benevolence, gave the unfortunate Foundlings a purse of iOO guineas. A most impressive charity Sermon was preached on the occasion, by the Bishop of CHESTER, and the congregation was numerons and distinguished.. A liberal colledition was made at the doors. A great number of persons of the first rank and fakbion were present. An, American Gentleman, who is-largely interest ed in'the late seizures'at St. Sebastian, of the ships belonging to the United States, haS received a letter 1 from one of his supercargoes, dated from Paris the , 1 26th Olt. This conimunic,Aion COtitains, a Ist of iabOut thirty-five vessels `placed under confiscation in that fort, for the releasel of whiCh ineffe.ttual cations were making at the Court of France. Most of the ships hadbeen carried into Bayonne, where the merchandise had been unloaded, and thrown in discriminately into public warehouses, without •att attention to the marks or distinetiona, or even tn the ships to which it appertained. The fineness of ,the day yesterday attraaed !vast E crowds of persons of all ranks and deScriptions to Hvds-park about three o'clock. It might be called the first day of spring, as . the fashionables had throWn off a part of their winter at tire,.and assumed all the - variety of tints in the-rainbow, either in silks or muslins. We noticed nothing particularly: Worthy of observation in the cosume ; .I , lac was one of the prevailing colonrs it was lit the form of pelisses, :spencers, and bopnets. In consequence of a requisition, the High Bailiff i of Westrniostvr. has . appointed a Meeting of the liEietiOrs t 6 take place on Tuesday se'ittligtit, in order r,to consider what is expedient to be done, in coo ! segunce of being deprived of one of their Represen ! tatives. . - An 61d Officer of very WO rank, who has I?eett ., dead, many years, recornwiended that when any island or place was captured in the \Vest Indies, all the fortifications should be blown up from ,their foundations, and masonry put in hogs and thrown . overboard in very deep (sixty or seventy homs) water; because it) a hot climate .►C would a work of great time, .Vast labour,. and much ex 7, peke, to hew stone for se-building fortifications, and if the masf.nry was not taken away, the old materials might serve again. Had this plan been E. adopted doting - the war of the French livvoltition, at Marti niq9e,Guadaloupe, &c. those - islands would have long since been in Out posses-inn. It is not probable we shall retain those ishinds afa peace, and if peace should he made, it is not likely, from the.present state of Europe, the peace can last many nionthq. The French West Indies will be at our mercy if all the fort iticalipos are now destroyed, and which can not be done at a cessation of hostilities, previous to: the ratification of - peace..., Mr. BANNkSTER had another numerous audience 1 . , : at the re-opening of, his Budget, on Satnrday last, I at.

The committee of Trustees, Renters, &c. of. the late Drury 7 lane Thk'atre, at their last meeting, it Seems, came'tO a rcsolution,-inporting, that unless SFILMIDANT sljnuld, on Saturday nem, bring for ward a substantial aproposation for re-building that Tileatre, to calla genera!' meeting of all persons in terested in' the property,' and i t )roceed . . to some de cisive measures. , " • Accounts..fl'om Poi t-au47ritriee, in Hayti, 'state, that-on Frioiaythe 2,f4(1 bebetriher, a barge arrived there with ten .

We strip the Press to announce ; with extreme sorrow, that in consequence of the attack made by the mob upon Tower Hill, and in the vicinity, on the Military, with mud; stones, &c. &c. the latter was provoked to Are, and many persons have in con sequence fallen victims on this melancholy occa- Sion. The rumours .are so various respecting this un happy affair, that it is impossible to collect any au thentic particulars at this moment, but all accounts concur in Stating the violence of the mob, and . the forbearance of the military, till matters began to as. ! sume the aspe4 of a very formidable riotous spirit.
